Student board members not required to attend study sessions. 

Due to only two Board members being present at the study session, the Board requests feedback from the remaining members at the June Board meeting.

During the study session, the Board continued its review of Board governance policies to determine whether updates are needed to ensure the policies are clearly written, easily understood by future Board members, and aligned with the Board’s monitoring and evaluation process of the Superintendent.

The Board completed its review of Policy E-6 (Educational Equity), following significant discussion at the May 11 study session. The Board expressed a desire to revise the policy so that it is more consistent in format and better aligned with other Board policies, focusing on policy-level direction rather than procedural detail. Policy E-6 will be presented at the June 22 Board meeting for a first reading of the second revision. If the Board reaches consensus, the policy may move forward for approval. If additional revisions are needed, the policy will be placed on a future study session agenda for further review.

The Board also reviewed Policy GP-2-E6 (Student Board Member). The Board discussed adding language to provide Board members with greater involvement in the recruitment, interviewing, and selection process for student representatives.

The next regular school board meeting will be held on June 22, 2026 at 6:30pm including an executive session at the NMSD Administration Office Boardroom. The board will be holding a study session on July 13, 2026 at 6:00 pm at the NMSD Administration Office Boardroom.
